For some reason, my laptop won't open exe files if they were downloaded off the internet.

I am having trouble opening my VPN right now and I need help soon


Thanks!
 
Well the .EXE problem might just be your security. When you try and run it, does a window coming up saying it can't run?

nope, it does it to most exe files. it just loads for a sec like it's going to open but it doesn't

This happens to me with Google Chrome, I have to click spam it to open. Try doing that. If that fails, try running in Administrator mode?
